BREAKING: APC NWC Adopts Omo-Agege For DSP, Wase For Deputy Speaker

Ahead of Tuesday’s inauguration of the National Assembly, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress, APC has formally adopted the pair of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Rep. Muhammed Wase for the positions of Deputy Senate President and Deputy Speaker.

The disclosure was made in an early morning statement issued on Monday morning.

A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the party Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu disclosed that the adoption follows the earlier adoption of the pair of Senator Ahmad Lawan for Senate President and Femi Gbajabiamila for Speaker.

The latest adoptions the party spokesman said were reached during meetings of the NWC on Saturday and Sunday.

APC held emergency meetings Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 of June 2019.

All party members in the National Assembly were requested to vote for the duo while all others interested in the two positions were requested to step down.

The statement read thus:

“The party formally adopts Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for the positions of Deputy Senate President and Hon. Muhammed Idris Wase as Deputy Speaker. This is sequel to wide consultations with President Muhammadu Buhari, party stakeholders, including APC governors. 

“You would recall that the party had earlier announced the duo of Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as the party’s candidates for the positions of Senate President and Speaker of House Representatives respectively.

“All elected APC members of the Senate and House of Representatives are hereby directed to fully mobilise as a united force behind the party’s choice.

“Members who have earlier signified interests in these positions are urged to support the party’s decisions as loyal and committed members of APC by working with other members to ensure the emergence of the adopted candidates.”
